Nice work Jbeas31! I was coming up empty with more clues. We might not find out why this bubble pattern exists, but still fun researching it.

Here is the comparison of the 3-1-3 & 2-2-3 bottles. The swimsuit girl and the placement of bubbles above her arms. both the girl and bubbles are different. I checked most of my other bottles and they all have the common 2-2-3 style. The bottle from kbobam in your link has to be earlier than 1941 because of the U7P embossing on the neck.

here is that bottle for reference. He doesn't list what yr it is from though.

Nice find. Like iggy said, earlier than 1941. Possibly 1936 to 1939. Here are the two bottles side by side, with iggy's on the left ...

P.S.

I sent kbobam a personal message asking him about the date and maker of his L.A. bottle and to post a picture of the base. I also attached a link to this thread, so if he gets my message hopefully he will respond.

I was at Pepsi Fest this weekend and saw a crate with 9 bubbles, crazy.

Josh I have seen matchbook covers with 9 bubbles also.

I have found 2 more items which I think are legit of the 3-1-3 bubble pattern. Now this doesn't solve our query but shows there are other things out there. The sign has the same yr as my bottle.

Could not find any info on this clock. But I did message the seller of that tin sign to ask if he or she remembers anything about it. They currently do not have any items for sale on ebay.
